I read a book last weekend. It occurred to me that over the past 10 years, I have written more books than I have read.
I was too busy working. Too busy worried about health insurance, retirement, etc. I needed to change that. I did. I moved to France. I am so less stressed now. I actually have found time to read and paint, which I hadn't done since moving to Silicon Valley in 1999

My iPhone updated last night. It downloaded an intro to the new features, but I couldn't read any of the text. iOS seems to have determined that color contrast is a thing of the past.
We've written a new guide on Federated Identity (FedCM).
The articles helps you to understand what's happening under the surface when a website works with an identity provider (IdP) to add federated sign-in for their users.
We cover the main flows as defined in the OpenID Connect (OIDC) protocol and its security features.
We also present how the FedCM API helps with moving away from third party cookies, and we list some strengths and weaknesses of Federated Identity.

I am going to Paris for a month to dog sit. I'll be there starting tomorrow through Christmas, New Year's, and my Birthday. I'll be leaving Paris on January 4.
I don't know anyone in Paris.
Any connections for me? Meetups to join (that actually meet in mid or late December)? Does anyone want guests for Christmas? Or know open places?
Amie will be joining me for part of my stay, but it is too much alone time for this extrovert. Thanks for any leads.

Prospera has a very low tax rate and no government interference or oversight. The current Honduran gov't wants it gone. Hernández's policies made the city possible, and Trump's billionaire friends hope freeing him will get him and his policies back in power

From a very wise acquaintance:
“VivirĂ© libre y sonriendo mientras mi espĂritu de lucha siga vivo”
“La mejor acción en contra de la opresión es la diversión”
"El inicio de la pĂ©rdida de nuestra libertad es cuando dejamos de sonreĂr”
“El miedo es su poder. Bailarlo es el nuestro”
“Cuando te envian más fuerzas a separarte de tu comunidad es porque estamos triunfando, sigamos unidos luchando”
“La naturaleza no sabe de fronteras. Vive como ella”
